Special Shot Sleeve for high quality aluminium alloy die casting with a metal matrix composite material “METACS”

The shot sleeve improves the quality of Die Casting by its good heat retention.

Our shot sleeves are equipped with a "METACS" inner tube.
The low heat conductivity of METACS enables preventing premature solidification of molten aluminium in the sleeve.

The particular advantages:

  • Increase of solidification time
  • Avoidance of cold flakes
  • High erosion and corrosion resistance against agressive aluminium alloys
  • Excellent heat-retaining characteristics
